  • Nov. 22: Shop Farmer Saturday with Symbria Patterson of Red Acre Center, which is preparing to host its 10th Annual Utah Farm & Food Conference Jan. 15-17, 2026, in Cedar City

  • Nov. 24: Lights On! at the Eccles with Kate Ithurralde of Salt Lake County Arts & Culture, who says the Eccles Lobby opens at 6 PM, with a lights-on ceremony @ 6:30 PM, featuring the County's annual winter art installation, a special gift to the community that marks the start of the holiday season. "This year, we’re pleased to feature 'The Turning Season' – a whimsical, hand-painted carousel created by local artists Jeremy Morgan and Brooke Smart. This one-of-a-kind piece showcases animals native to Utah and invites visitors to rediscover the childlike wonder of winter in our beautiful state.

    After the lighting ceremony, the celebration continues throughout the Grand Lobby with live music, aerial performances, a magician and balloon artist, and plenty of festive treats – including a hot cocoa bar and other sweet and savory surprises!
